The Bureaucrats' noticeboard is a place where items related to the Bureaucrats can be discussed and coordinated. Any user is welcome to leave a message or join the discussion here. Please start a new section for each topic.

This is not a forum for grievances. It is a specific noticeboard addressing Bureaucrat-related issues. If you want to know more about an action by a particular bureaucrat, you should first raise the matter with them on their talk page. Please stay on topic, remain civil, and remember to assume good faith. Take extraneous comments or threads to relevant talk pages.

If you are here to report that an RFA or an RFB is "overdue" or "expired", please wait at least 12 hours from the scheduled end time before making a post here about it. There are a fair number of active bureaucrats; and an eye is being kept on the time remaining on these discussions. Thank you for your patience.

To request that your administrator status be removed, initiate a new section below.

Re-admin request

Status:     On hold pending verification of identity

Hello, not sure if this is the right place to request this, but I noticed that my account was de-admined, and I would like to request that a bureaucrat re-admin me. It's been awhile since I edited last, and unfortunately I no longer remember the password to my old account (User:Cdc). I've created a new account and would greatly appreciate it if my admin tools could be restored to this account. Thanks! Cdc II (talk) 01:44, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

• (Non-bureaucrat comment) how can we tell you are really Cdc and not an impersonator? Thanks Secret ^account 02:21, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Unfortunately your main account is over a year old, so even if I checkusered it I couldn't confirm your identity. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 02:30, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
    • I asked SatuSuro (talk · contribs) to comment on this request, maybe he could confirm Cdc identity. Secret ^account 02:34, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
      • I do not understand. I am User:Cdc, with a new account. How could I possibly be an impersontor of myself? -Cdc II (talk) 02:38, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

• He is saying we have no way of verifying if the Cdc II account is being controlled by the same person that controlled the Cdc account. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 02:43, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

• What do I do then? Cdc II (talk) 02:49, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

such a long time ago I honestly do not think I can help - I think this looks like some offline and under the hatch tinkering is required. I had very little to do with cdc in the latter stage of the account functioning - only the earlier part. I think it is up to the person claiming to be cdc to deal with someone in a crat position to confirm identity by some offline means - I am sorry I cannot help. SatuSuro 08:07, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

We are supposed to have faith in these people to carry out Admin. duties when they appear clueless as to the need to, and mechanisms for, proving who they are? Leaky Caldron 12:54, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Do you still control an email account with which you have corresponded in the past with a Wikipedia functionary (bureaucrat, Arbcom member, OS user, CU) who could therefore vouch for you? --Dweller (talk) 12:40, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Alternatively, have you ever met other Wikipedians in person, e.g. at a Meetup, who might be able to confirm your identity? WJBscribe (talk) 13:14, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

In light of this similar request, I think that erring on the side of caution is the prudent choice. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 13:32, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

The three Crats who've so far responded here (as well as any others who've viewed the thread and chosen not to resysop) seem to be 'erring on the side of caution' quite nicely. --Dweller (talk) 13:54, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Quite. –xeno^talk 14:22, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

I realize that, of course. This request just happened to remind me of something and I wanted to provide a link to it. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 15:24, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Was it to check your bank account for identity theft? Off2riorob (talk) 15:26, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Request

I would like to request a removal of my flags at this time, but would like to request that only rollback be added back. For personal reasons I need these flags gone for a while. -- DQ (t) (e) 16:23, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
